Having never built a smoker and having never welded anything remotely this big, I think it's coming along ok so far.....

Did some rough designs in Sketchup.

Cooking chamber is 24" x 60" (or 600mm x 1500mm for those from around here). On the other side of the cooking chamber, there will be a prep bench that will have a HDPE cutting board and fire wood storage underneath. In front of that is the storage for my other passion - Home Brew. Two corny kegs and a jockey box for serving.

A mate gave me an old, rusty 6'x4' box trailer, so I promptly removed the side and the floor. The chassis is still in pretty good nick.

Next, I started work on the prep bench and wood storage.

Then, picked up the pipe and got it mounted to the trailer.

That's where I'm up to now. Hoping to get the end plates for the cooking chamber and the steel for the firebox back from the laser cutters tomorrow.
